Some LG D820 Nexus 5 specs show up in FCC documents

Information about the new LG Google Nexus 5 continues to pop-up in unexpected places.

Couple of days ago we caught a glimpse of Nexus 5 in Google’s KitKat statue video. Today, it seems, someone has mixed up the dates in FCC confidentiality request filings, and a bunch of device test documents with pics and some of the specs became public prematurely.

LG Nexus 5 goes under the model number D820, and comes equipped with:

7 band LTE connectivity

Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 CPU

5” display

Bleutooth 4.0, NFC, Wi-Fi b/g/n/ac

2300 mAh battery

Qi Wireless charging

Dimensions: 131.9 mm long, 68.2mm wide

The new Nexus is shaping up to be a pretty powerful device. The only thing that worries me, is its battery. 2300mAh for a smartphone with 5” display does not seem like enough. Unless Android KitKat has some breakthrough power management techniques, I’m afraid that LG Nexus 5 endurance may disappoint.

Recently Google redesigned their Nexus page, and the smartphone section now says “Phones” (plural). It may not mean much, but Google never had more than one Nexus phone ever since the program launched. Now they may be hinting plans to expand the flagship smartphone brand to several devices.

While I like to play with the latest gadgets, I am even more interested in broad technology trends. With mobile now taking over the world - following the latest technology news, looking for insights, sharing and discussing them with passionate audience - it's hard to imagine a better place for me to be.
